Keyword: the creative abilities, knowledge, challenges, education, students, higher 
education institution. 
Contemporary society is characterized by rapid and complex change processes 
encompassing all spheres of life. Creativity has been identified both as a key factor for 
adequately addressing the challenges caused by these changes as well as a major driving force 
towards knowledge creation and social and economic advancement through the development 
of a knowledge society. Creativity has received a high degree of attention from scholars
professionals and policy makers alike in recent years. Yet, despite the significant overall 
interest in the topic, so far relatively little attention has been paid in Europe on how creativity 
and innovation can be enhanced within and by academe The literature on creativity suggests 
that the definitions of the term vary considerably and seem to depend to a high degree on the 
contexts in which the topic is discussed. In line with this, all four project networks agreed that 
no simple or “one-size-fits-all” definition of creativity in higher education is possible. Yet the 
network reports also indicate that the discussions on possible definitions were very fruitful 
insofar as they provided an important starting point for identifying a number of dimensions of 
creativity. All networks struggled with the question of how to identify good practices related to 
the project topic, i.e. how to distinguish between manifestations of creativity and activities that 
are merely worthwhile or relevant. This difficulty was obviously closely connected with the 
overall difficulty of defining creativity but all networks eventually succeeded and identified a 
range of good practices through the explicit and implicit identification of core characteristics 
for creativity in higher education. Thus, as had been hoped, the diversity of projects partners in 
terms of their respective institutional missions, disciplinary foci, cultural and national/regional 
backgrounds certainly seems to have assisted them in understanding the concept of creativity 
by allowing for the identification of common denominators or core characteristics. 
Diversity in terms of e.g. talents, interests, previous qualifications, experience and social 
backgrounds was identified as a crucial factor for fostering creativity among students and staff. 
Both research and teaching teams may profit from a diversity of disciplinary foci among its 
members. Cooperation with external partners provides HEIs(Higher education institutions) 
with the opportunity to benefit from expertise not found within the institution and from the 
creative mix of “insiders” and “outsiders”. As noted earlier, the four networks in the Creativity 
Project had been composed of institutions reflecting a wide range of missions, disciplinary foci 
and geographical distribution. All four network reports suggest that the project partners were 
very much aware of their diversity and the challenges this presented them with. However, they 
also appreciated the opportunity for exchange with partners with whom they otherwise would 
not have had much contact and saw the benefits of working with a diverse group on the topic
